If you are a subscriber Thank you so much for coming back today's video is how to apply foundation for beginners if you are a beginner Sure, you'll be loving this video. This video is going to be step by step on how to achieve a flawless foundation So first of all my face is bare like I have nothing on my face right now So I'm going to be showing you how to prep your skin before you apply your foundation As a beginner you need a good base for you to be able to get a flawless foundation blend and again Having a good skin. It's a very very important part if your skincare routine sucks You really need to change or step up your skincare routine Well, if you don't do skincare routine at all, you really need to because my skin Went through a lot and during that process. I actually was struggling you know getting a proper or a flawless blend when it comes to my foundation and I tried all my best to you know get my skin looking like this Maybe I'll be leaving a video somewhere here or here for you to see how bad My skin was I break down like a lot So I tried all my possible best to stay true to my skincare routine I'll be leaving that down in my description box if you want to see that is affordable skincare routine When you have a good skin, you will not need to struggle too much You know in blending your foundation and it's gonna make your work a lot more easier Then when you have bad skin, you try to cover a lot of things Which will take more time than the normal and also You might not especially for beginners You might find it difficult for you to cover those or some of those imperfections on your skin so try as much as possible as you can to stay true to your skincare routine first for my prepping I start off with a Setting mist or if you have rose water you can spray that on your face But I'm gonna be spraying this setting mist from Tejas So I always let that dry down. You can just fan your face so to Hasten the whole thing up before I go in with any other thing like I said I always love to work on a clean base Make sure that your skin is clean now. I'll be going in with a moisturizer. This is from Aveeno This is a daily moisturizing lotion. So I'm gonna be going in with this So I just put a little of this right on my palm at the back of my palm a Little goes a long way. This moisturizer does not leave my skin greasy or Any of sorts it doesn't leave white cast on my skin You can use or a moisturizer that has SPF SPF to protect your skin from direct sunlight moisturizer just leave my skin feeling very soft no matter the skin type you are oily combination or Dry skin you need to moisturize your skin. So I'm combination. I get oily around my t-zone I always moisturize my skin before I go in with any primer So next I'll be going in with a primer this Pond's primer. This is oil controlling primer. So for primers It also depends on the skin type if you're oily if your combination if you are dry skin That depends on the kind of primer that you're supposed to use. So if you're oily You'll I suggest you stay true to mattifying primer. I always love to concentrate that primer More on my t-zone because this is where I produce most of the oil around my brow areas and then the bridge of my nose and then around My mouth I just take whatever is left to the other part of my face This is because I don't get oily at the side at all if you're a sweaty kind of person I suggest you go for something that has sweat block Okay, so you can keep your foundation or you can keep your makeup in place all day so one thing you would not want to do is to You know apply that primer like a mattifying primer underneath your eyes Because this area is very delicate You don't want to leave this area feeling next thing we are gonna be doing is to choose our foundation test our foundation and then apply first you need to know your undertones so you know What shade of foundation that you are supposed to use as a beginner? I talked about under the stone I have a video That I explained in details what undertones mean types of undertones Metal to which you can detect which undertones you belong to so I'll be leaving the link down in my description box And in that video I also talked about How to customize foundation to get a proper match, okay? So I'll be using both of this foundation. This is Maybelline super stay in 330 toffee caramel This is a little bit lighter than my skin tone or a half shade lighter than my skin tone If there's any word like that and then here I have the Milani Conceal plus perfect two in one foundation in number 11 amber. This is like a half tone If there's any word as well like that lighter or sorry darker than my skin tone So now I'm in the warm tone family and I chose foundation that belong to that range I also talked about skin type We have the medium we have the light and we also have the deep so now as an African in Nigeria I belong to the deep family. So I chose range of foundation Belonging to that family. Okay, I'm gonna be mixing both of this foundation to see Exactly how that we match my skin tone. But before then I'm gonna be swatching That foundation for you to see so I'm switching the Milani in number 11 amber This is a little bit darker than my skin tone. I'm gonna be switching the meddling So here it looks like Something that would have matched my skin tone, but is a little bit lighter So I'm gonna be mixing both of this foundation to get a proper match to my skin tone A simpler way for you to customize foundation that will suit your skin tone. The best is having a darker shade of foundation, maybe the meddling superstar or Milani, whichever works for you or you can get the NYX Can't stop won't stop foundation Usually I use the darker shade of this foundation in a meddling does in number 360 If I'm not mistaken does in a Truffle Truffle to mix any light foundation, you know why it is easier to mix like to Customize a lighter shade of foundation with a more darker one than maybe something like this Supposing the pump was okay I would have been taking like two or three pumps of this depending and then like half or One pump of this and then I'm just mixing that together So this is the results for mixing both of them So I'm gonna be trying this right on my skin to see how that matches my skin So I think it's still dark. So I need to add a little of this one more time mix once again, this is how The customized one looks like So I'll be blending I'll be applying this right now on my skin my go-to tools for applying foundation is my blending my damn beauty sponge And then use a brush like this to Swap the Foundation on my skin just like so but you can use your fingers and just tap on the foundation But this is my go-to method for applying foundation on my skin So I just feel like this helped my foundation to You know sit well and also when you're testing your foundation allow your foundation to sit on your skin before That's the only way you can know if the foundation is truly You're undertone or a proper match for you. I'm feeling a little bit dry on my lips. So I'll be moisturizing using the blue silver sling to keep my lips so after um Spraying there a foundation on my skin. I would like to spray my face one more time So I'm going in with my damn beauty sponge so this helped to Take off excess products from my skin and help blend the foundation Well into my skin. So I allowed the setting mist to dry down just a little bit before I go in with my damn beauty sponge And I like to stipple my foundation into my skin Just push it in gently With a very light hand You apply this without pressure. I like to go layer by layer Especially if you have blemishes, you need to cover. Fibrious Vasta is a full coverage foundation So if your skin is not having much of that blemishes I don't really see the need to go in with a color corrector You can just use your foundation and then cover up Whatever imperfection you want to cover if is a full coverage foundation So I'm just going into that foundation Right at the back of my hand to cover up the Areas that I feel needs more coverage If I feel any other place needs coverage I just go in and concentrate right On that area don't need to go all over again All over the face so that you will not have a cakey foundation by the time you're done blending You want to blend your foundation to your hairline. You don't want to Have a face that All of this area is this is where your foundation stop So you have to blend into your hairline so that you have that seamless look Tippling your foundation into your skin so that I won't be having that or streaks On my skin or moving my product around or having some patches, you know when you are Pushing in your foundation with so much tenacity. So for me, I don't like going in right underneath my eyes With so much foundation because I'm still gonna highlight underneath my eyes So there is no no need to go underneath the eyes with so much foundation If not, you'll be leaving on the eyes. You'll be leaving your under eyes looking Too heavy and it will end up cakey. So try to bring down your foundation to your neck Because you want everything to look seamless You do not want your face to look different from your neck and also bring to your ears So that everything will look like one Okay, so yeah guys, that is it That it's it for a flawless foundation You want to match your foundation to your neck to your chest and then to your face if you notice I am not different my chest my neck and my face is not different from each other This is exactly how you want to apply your foundation You know choose your foundation properly match it Well, even it be you customize it to get your perfect undertone.
